Toddler French Braids

It is not very often this fun filled 3 year old will let me do anything creative with her hair so I always jump at the few opportunities. 

 I made 2 small french braids as shown below on each side of her head.

 Then I combined the 2 french braids with (the everyday request just 1 elastic)

                                                        Below is (sort of the top of her head)

X Braids

This hairstyle was designed by my daughter she asked if I could make french braids that cross in the center.  So here it is.

I started with one french braid that in the center I just braided as shown below instead of adding hair (this was because I didn't want bulk in the cross section.)

                                   Next make another french braid across her head. Shown below.
                                             I also braided all the way to the bottom of each braid.

I then pulled the ends of the braids and folded them up to the base of her head and curled the ends to lay over the braids as shown below.



Braided Sides

Make a french braid with all the hair on her left side of her head.  Braid it down a ways (as shown below)

                                Make another french braid with all the hair on her right side.

 Lift up a small amount of hair (this will be to hide the braids after they are attached together as shown below) 

                                                     Back comb the hair over the braid.



Toddler Braid to Sides up

As most of you who have toddlers know how hard it is for them to sit still.  So with that being said this is the only picture we got after sitting for a french braid. 

Make a small french braid down the center of her head.  Then pull the sides up on top of the braid as shown above.  Then secure all of them together with an elastic.  This is such a cute style.

Side French Braid

This is one of those really quick and easy styles.

I put her bangs back into a poof and secured it with an elastic.

 Then I made a single french braid down the left side of her head and braided all the way to the ends of her hair.

Toddler Pony's

 This fun and easy hairstyle is simply just 2 ponytails.  You can get as creative as you want. 

We started with a small ponytail that angles to her left ear as shown below.

                                      Then make a parallel ponytail behind the first as shown below.

                                         Below is a side view.  I put a small curling iron through her ponytails to give the ringlet look
